Plastic Promises Lyrics by Set It Off

Cinematics (Expanded Edition)

2012

[Verse 1]
Just give me a chance, she said as I packed my things
But I already did four times, don't you remember?
I won't blow it again, she said, with her fingers crossed
But she forgot about the mirror behind her
I'm done with plastic promises

[Chorus]
Please don't tell me that we're fine
I got too much on my mind
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe
Cause we've lost too much to gain
We were dancing in the rain
Tell me what am I to do
With a double dose of you?
A dose of you

[Verse 2]
Her lips are the gun and her tongue are the bullets
She could save a life, but she took mine away instead
And we gave it our all, so don't call me a quitter, no
And I've swear I've tried too many times before but
I'm done with plastic promises

[Chorus]
Please don't tell me that we're fine
I got too much on my mind
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe
Cause we've lost too much to gain
We were dancing in the rain
Tell me what am I to do
With a double dose of-
With a double dose of you

[Bridge]
Don't try to defy or even make an attempt
My blinders are off and I am running again from you
Am I okay? Am I okay? I know I'll be okay again
Are you ready?
So here we go, I know
You'd kill for everything to stay the same
In vain, we had to go our separate ways
When you proved to me that you would never change
I finally woke up and exclaimed
That I'm done with these plastic promises

[Chorus]
Please don't tell me that we're fine (We're not)
I got too much on my mind
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe, yeah
Cause we've lost too much to gain
We were dancing in the rain
Tell me what am I to do
With a double dose of-
With a double dose of you?
